How does it work?
ResurFX™ Technology
The ResurFX™ fractional laser is a state-of-the-art, non-ablative, skin resurfacing technology. ResurFX™ fractional laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastic fibers in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating new collagen production is the key to a more radiant, youthful looking skin.
The ResurFX™ technology enables us to achieve excellent clinical results over a sequence of treatments while keeping your comfort maximal and downtime minimal.
The Treatment
To ensure utmost comfort, we typically apply a topical numbing cream before treatment and/or use air cooling during treatment. Depending on your specific concern, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes.
You may experience a warm or prickling sensation as the laser is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable.
What should i expect?
When I See The Results?
The ResurFX™ treatment works with your skin to stimulate deep collagen regeneration over a sequence of treatments. Typically, you will typically need about 3 sessions to have visible improvement in the skin texture. But, already after the first treatment, you may notice changes in pores size.
Typically, results are achieved after 3-5 sessions in 4-5 weeks intervals. However, you may continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness or swelling, depending on your customized treatment settings. The swelling may diminish after a few hours and the redness as quickly as the next day or over the next few days. Most patients are able to resume their daily activities the very same day.
Typically we advise that you stay out of direct sun for a few days following the treatment and to apply sun screen.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
ResurFX™ by Lumenis, is the latest in non-ablative, fractional laser technology to improve fine lines and wrinkles, soften scars, improve skin texture and tone, and promote collagen growth with minimal downtime during a nearly pain-free procedure.
The non-ablative laser stimulates the skin to develop collagen without destroying or ablating any skin. As collagen increases, the skin looks tighter, more even, and more youthful. Its fractional laser function also delivered to the skin in tiny dots and to only a fraction of the skin, requiring only one pass over the skin to produce effective results.
ResurFX works by sending controlled laser beams (targeted by depth and energy) to varying levels of the skin. The targeted tissue is treated in fractions leaving the surrounding tissue intact. The intact skin is able to help heal the treated tissue faster meaning there is less down-time.
The results of the non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing are truly remarkable. ResurFX improves texture, unevenness and skin laxity with little to no downtime. Patients will see an immediate result after the procedure. The results of the treatment continue to develop over a period of three to six months. Patients can return to work after 24 hours.
ResurFX is completed as a series of treatments. Because it is a limited downtime procedure, it usually requires multiple treatments for significant and meaningful results. Typically, at least 3-4 treatments about one month apart are necessary to obtain optimal results, although this varies by the individual and their goal.
Yes, ResurFX™ is safe, as the technology has undergone rigorous testing and received FDA clearance. Altheda Medical Center is the top provider in greater Pittsburgh, PA, offering true fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing using ResurFX™.
You may experience a warm or prickling sensation as the laser is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable.
ResurFX™ is safe for patients of all skin tones and is ideal for individuals with concerns about visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles and mild to moderate skin laxity. It is also a good option for those struggling with enlarged pores, acne scarring, pigmented lesions, stretch marks, and skin discoloration.
Significant side effects are rare with ResurFX™ and those that occur are predictable and mild in nature. ResurFX™ is a very safe procedure. All patients experience mild redness and some degree of swelling following treatment. As with any laser treatment, rare and unexpected side effects could occur and include change in color of the skin or scarring. These are unlikely to occur in well-trained hands and ResurFX™ is often used to treat scarring of the skin.
